EAGER FOR WORK.
Members of Both Houses
Are Fast Returning to
Washington.
Washington, Nov. 30.- The
members of both houses of Con
gress began today to return to
Washington in large numbers
preparatory to the opening of
the final session of the sixty
third Congress.
The House committee on ap
propriations today worked on
supply measures.
The naval affairs committee
also considered appropriations.
No definite legislative program
for the session has been decided
upon. It is certain, however,
that several conservation meas
ures, including general water
power and land leasing bills,
will be pressed.
The Democratic members
generally expressed the hope
that all business would be con
cluded by March 4, so that an
extra session will be unnecessary
to usher in the newly elected
sixty-fourth Congress.
Many Citizens Have Signed Petitions.
Mr. R. L. Nunn, of Quaker
Gap Township, who was in Dan
bury today, stated that almost
or quite two-thirds of the regis
tered voters in his township had
signed petitions asking for an
election on a bond issue of
$50,000 for good roads in the
township. Mr. Nunn is of the
opinion that an election will now
go for a bond issue by a large
majority. At their meeting
next Monday the county com
missioners will be asked to grant
the election.
VETERANS PENSIONS
Warrants Will Be Sent Out
From Raleigh Within the
Next Few Days.
News from Raleigh gives the
information that the pension
warrants for the Confederate
veterans and widows are now
being prepared and will be sent
out within the next few davs.
It requires between fifty and
sixty.thousand dollars to oay the
pensions and takes considerable
time to make out the lists.
! While the checks are small they
are a great help to many of the
veterons and widows. The
amounts paid the different classes
| will probably be increased
! slightly this year.

'QUAKBR GAP VOTERS.

To the Voters of Quaker Gap
Township:
Monday, Dec. 7th, is the time
set to present our petitions
to the board of county commis
sioners asking for the privilege
of voting on a $50,000 bond issue
to build good roads in Quaker
Gap township, and we earnestly
request "the voters of each
precinct to communicate with
each other in some way and send
a (rood delegation to Danbury on
above named date.
Let's get busy now and carry
this election for the bond issue
by the biggest majority of any
township in the county, and the
one way to show that you mean
business this time is to be in
Danbury next first Monday,
Dec. 7th.
Yours very truly,
R. L. NUNN.

NEW SYSTEM STARTS NEXT WEEK
All Subscriptions to the Reporter Not
Paid In Advance Will Be Stopped
This Week.
After this issue the Reporter will be discontinued
to all those whose subscriptions are not paid in
advance. We still have a few who have failed to
renew after being notified of our intention to adopt
the cash-in-advance plan and we desire to say to
those that when your paper fails to come next week
we hope you will renew by sending in any balance
you may be due and enough to pay in advance as we
do not like to lose you as a subscriber.
Nearly all the best papers and magazines of the
country have adopted the cash-in-advance system
and when the time you have paid for expires the
paper does not come to you any longer. We believe
this is the best and most satisfactory way to do
business and is best for both you and ourselves as it
is a great deal of trouble to collect so many small
accounts and is annoying to you. So remember that
in the future when your time expires the paper will
be stopped unless we hear from you.
To those few who still owe small accounts on back
subscription we would say that we are mailing you
statements and hope that you will remit at once
and renew your subscription as we want to get our
list clean. *

WiiiHtun .liiui'iiiii.
| Although a splendid season
Hias come on, there has hardly
i been time enough yet for many
jof the farmers who will sell at
: this time to take advantage of
! the season. However, there
| were pretty fair sales yesterday
land the bidding was lively as is
I indicated by the splendid average
price. The farmers were general
ly satisfied with the prices they
received.
The sales for the entire month
of November totaled 4,784,938
pounds at an average price of a
little more than $11.50 per hund
red pounds. The total amount
of money paid out during the
month was $548,258.21.
The past month has not made
nearly so good a showing as did
the corresponding mo th of last
year; but tie selling has been
good considering the conditions
and there are indications that
the market will take on much
greater activity during the pres
ent month, certainly until after
the Christmas season.
The sales today will be much
larger than they were yesterday.
Many farmers came in yesterday
evening and last night. And it
is predicted that the market will
experience a steady increase dur
ing the remainder of the week
unless there is a most unfavor
able change in the weather con
ditions.

Utter From Mr. Nunn To the
Members Of tjie Farmers Union
Wesfield. Nov. 28.
To the Members of the Stokes
County Union:
Our President, Mr. J. A. Law
son. has called a meeting of
the Stokes county Union to be
held at Danbury, Dec. 12th, for
the purpose of electing officers
for the coming year and we do
hope that each local in the coun
ty will have a full delegation at
the meeting. Lets attend wheth
er we are delegates or not.
Now, lets get together
and make 1915 a great year
in Union work in Stokes county.
I went to the State meeting
last week at Greenville and came
back with renewed determination
to help build the greatest Union
in Stokes of any county in the
State, and if we will all stand to
gether we can do this.
We made a poor showing at
the State meeting this year as
we had only one delegate there
out of all that we elected to go.
No business in that as it looked
like old Stokes was about dead,
but we are not. are we? If we are
not, lets get a hustle on and do
something.
Hoping to see a big crowd at
the meeting on the 12th, I am,
yours fraternally,
R. L. NUNN.
Destruction By Hunters.
It is said that thousands of
dollars in damage is done the

your land against this destruc
tion we will mail you posters for
ten cents per dozen and pay the
postage on them. Send stamps
